Avenue of Flags

 

Honor a Clifton veteran by purchasing a flag. Simply fill out this form and mail it in with a $100.00 check and proof of veteran's service. The purchase includes a durable flag pole with a 3' X 5' 100% nylon embroidered flag, a protective sleeve, a name plate, and a ground socket. The veteran's name, branch of service, and the donor's name will be placed in our registry book located in City Hall. Flags will be displayed on the City Hall grounds on Memorial Day, Flag Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, and Veteran's Day for everyone to see. We also need volunteers to put up and take down the flags on the dates listed below.
